Well colosseum and XD pokemon were proven to have shiny checks on, ... if it's true I'd be interested to see what distant land pokemon can and can't be shiny.

Please correct me if im wrong, but Colosseum doesnt have a shiny check and XD has it patched. I was talking to Kaph and he had said Colosseum didnt have the patch, and XD did.
As for the list, confirmed legitimate shiny distant lands are Pokespot and Eevee.

I'm just genuinely interested at this point, rather than calling anything a hack, I'd like to see the thread where it says it. I haven't been able to relocate it, just the post by OmegaDonut on smogon which shows XD pokemon can't be shiny. I seem to recall in a thread by xfr on projectpokemon that normal GC colosseum pokemon couldn't be shiny also, but I remember Bond had a few issues with that so I'd go by his reasoning.

I've been a bit out of touch with this lately, do you have a link to anything on this? Thanks for letting me know about the pokespot pokes and eevee, that covers quite a few I guess. Bloody distant land always proving such a nuisance!

I apologize to everyone. I used pokecheck, and my 10th aniv shiny Celebi and my shiny Mattle Ho-oh were indeed hacked. However, my shiny 10th aniv Latios IS NOT a hack. Not only that, pokecheck found that he has never been cloned. He is one of a kind, and going into my trophy case, where he will be NFT. It was proven that 10th anivs can be shiny, but the likelihood is very, VERY rare. What happens is each game did a shiny check, and if it matched the PID would be regenerated ONCE. So, if you got two shiny seeds in a row, you ended up with a shiny 10th aniv. If you don't believe me, I can ask my sister to find the site again that tested that.

Also, over the next several days, I will be hack checking all pokemon I put up here, so please be patient with me.

I suppose we will have to agree to disagree. Since it passed pokecheck, I am going to continue to say it's legit. Besides, I am not trading it, so what does it matter to you?
Do you have proof that all SIDs are set to zero, and why did it pass pokecheck if it had an illegal SID?

lol if you think pokecheck is 100% perfect then I will stop discussing about this, I can easily show you hacks that will pass Pokecheck with green all around. My proof? If you knew anything about the events it's that they ALL have a SID of 0.

It doesn't matter to me, I just want to educate you on the matter but if you want to ignore it w/e, I showed you a legal Shiny Latios for you to take anyways.

PS: MAT Pokemon are legit if you even knew who Bond697 is, his Pokemon are just valueless since he gives them for free on Pokecheck

kaorusquee - the method of regenerating the PID and still getting a shiny is a very old opinion and wrong. In any case, it wouldn't apply to 10 ANIV pokemon as they were obtained through trades with a distribution cart rather than generated on your game, though after speaking with Bond about this ages ago he makes a good case that they probably could be shiny, albeit it unlikely.

If your 10 ANIV pokemon have an SID that's not 0, they're hacked, simple as that. Pokecheck is not an effective tool for checking events, it will be able to tell you some things, and notably should show the PID, but it takes people who know what they're looking for to really do the checking. I'm sure you wouldn't even know through pokecheck if it has the right PID anyway, because I doubt you know what the PID type of 10 ANIV pokemon should be.

Importantly, just because something is not on pokecheck does not make it unique, it just means it's not on pokecheck like 99.999% of everything out there.

Okay, I have re-posted pokemon into my first post. If they are there, it means I have hack checked them. I was actually amazed how may hacks I actually had. I will be adding more as I look at all my games; the ones currently listed are just from one game.

CMT for the shiny Tynamo and shiny Pansage, please. Darn, I wanted both your Cresselia and Kyurem and sad to see them gone.

They aren't gone. I just haven't hack checked them yet, so that's why they aren't up there. I've only gone through two of my three 5th gen games, and none yet of my six 4th gen games. So, they will probably get put back on the list some time this week.

If your shiny flawless Staryu has Natural Cure for its ability I am interested. The following are shiny flawless UT you might be interested in: Zorua quirky with Illusion, Growlithe jolly with Flash Fire, Bulbasaur impish with overgrow, espeon (ev's unknown) careful with syncronize, and Deino near flawless modest with Hustle. Do any of those sound like a fair trade?

It's good you did that, make sure you know what you're looking for though. I assume you're just using pokecheck which doesn't tell you everything but it's a start. Make sure on top of that the pokemon has the right PID type, ID, SID, pokeball and moveset and you're at least a fair bit on your way to weeding out some hacks.
